Was it merely the moon
Or was it the heady wine?
Did they both dissolve
All of our futile restraint?
You swept back your hair
With a defianf brush
As your bosom heaved
And your wanton sleeve slipped

Fragile and
thin-skinned
veiled with fine gauze
little fractures
invisible to the eye
until the day
the fracture breaks open
and everything inside
comes spilling out

The train to Halma was slow. As slow as it had always been for the past seventy years.
Narrow gauge mountain tracks, with hundreds of hairpin bends, spectacularly high bridges and long dark tunnels, . . .

Simple words are all we need
Like flowers started from a seed
They flourish with tender love and care
Without it they hold quite bare
And simply leave us standing there
Wondering why…

I want to
climb to the top
of you.
Dance around
your head
and see the view
from up there.
Visions come to
life as I tangle
in your hair.
Spinning circles
Twirling around
Laughing aloud . . .

I feel like
crying tonight
just to let go.
Been holding on
for too long now.
Time to release.
Time to forgive.
I feel like
hiding tonight
just to be alone.
Been playing . . .

Let me tell you about a song for you
Sung by a wanderer of far lands
Who wants to offer you a gift
He bows and holds it in his hands
He sings of a love like none other
A love beyond . . .

I want
to be whole,
a beacon
of light.
I want
to embrace
my gifts
in life.
I want
to feel
my strength
take flight
I want
to heal
my soul
from strife. . . .

I have waited
my whole life
to feel this way.
Dreamed about you
long ago.
I have imagined
my life with you.
A fantasy that
has come true.
I can't believe
I am here with . . .

I know your suffering
feel it deep in my bones
the doubt that haunts you
Makes you feel alone
I know you're searching
it unsettles my soul

If I could open
the secrets
locked inside
forbidden to all.
I hold it here
in the center
of my being.
And what
you see
isn't really me
it is only
an illusion
of your reality. . . .

Misty skies
rainbow eyes
and fires
in our hearts.
Sandy dunes
crescent moons
our love
we can't deny.
Drifting forms
feelings torn
